The Applicant Portal allows applicants to look at the listings for selected properties, request viewing appointments and change their own requirements.
It is accessed in a variety of ways
The Welcome E-Mail - sent automatically to new applicants that you register or who register direct via your Expert Agent powered website
Weekly E-Mail - sent automatically every Wednesday night
Matching - via the emails sent to applicants after performing applicant and property matches
Your Expert Agent Powered Website
Unlike the other portals, there's nothing to configure.
Here's an example Applicant Portal
“Your Requirements” Tab
As stated previously, any changes made by the Applicant will automatically update Expert Agent and log a task and event to notify you of the change.
Within this section we look at two keep aspects of Expert Agent:
When you have a large number of Active Applicants sometimes it can be hard to see the wood for the trees when running Matches or loading your Grids.
You can add in a Status Prompt to help categorise the Applicants.
For example you could have a Status Prompt called "Mailing List" with the answers of "Email Only", "Hot List", Active Mailing List". This can be added the same way as any other Status Prompt by going to Tools -> Configuration -> Applicant Configuration -> Applicant Status Prompts.
Once this is created you will be able to categorise your applicants further than just Active or Inactive.
You can also create personal Quicklinks or Saved Selections from your grid using the new Applicant Status Prompt.
This section is the second half of the module designed to help you with booking, managing and progressing viewings within Expert Agent
The events tab holds all the history of the record. Expert Agent is OFT compliant which means everything you do within the system is recorded and cannot be changed or deleted. If you need to look back in the history to find a specific log make use of the filters. You can also add any additional notes you would like.
